Impatiens

The number one annual for shade

Impatiens are one of best annuals you can find for shady areas. They start blooming within 3 months from seed, flaunting colors from bold oranges to soft pinks and pure whites to deep burgundies. Easy care and continuous blooming make Impatiens perfect for pots, hanging baskets, and containers (both indoors and out!). They're also lovely in the garden, lighting up any shady or semi-shady bed or border with a profusion of sparkling colors.
